hello,
My new laptop came with Microsoft security essential software. I recently installed the Avast free edition too. How will this affect my laptop? Can i use 2 antivirus software?
-
nope. its best to remove one immediately as they will both conflict with each other.
ive been using avast internet security for 2 years now and its been great. only had 2 false positives and no malware or viruses. -
-
your welcome. with the free version dont forget to turn on windows firewall as it only comes with the paid version of avast.
-
oh crap, i thought the windows firewall is enabled by default. i have to do it manually?
-
-
ive noticed in the past that when you load a new antivirus some of them can turn your windows firewall off so as tijo said its always best to check.
-
thanks DJ & Tijo

Avast and Comodo free firewall has worked for me.
